Shorts make audit and accounts director promotion

Shorts have promoted Kirstie Wilson to the position of audit and accounts director with immediate effect.

Since joining Shorts in 2016 as an audit and accounts senior, Kirstie has earned promotions to manager in 2018 and then senior manager in 2021.

Her progression to director is testament to her exemplary skills and continued commitment to excellence, and to the active role she has played in the development of the corporate team during that time.

On confirming her promotion, audit and accounts partner Howard Freeman said: “Kirstie’s promotion is very much deserved, and she has worked hard to achieve it.

“As director, Kirstie will take on the role of engagement leader on a portfolio of our clients, will hold responsible individual (RI) status, and in due course will be able to sign audit reports on behalf of the firm, in addition to leading non-audit work. A fantastic achievement, as Kirstie will be the first non-partner to hold this position in Shorts.

“She will also take on the role of engagement leader for most of our charity clients, having obtained the ICAEW Diploma in Charity Accounting earlier this year.”

Kirstie said: “I am delighted to have been promoted to audit and accounts director at Shorts, and I’m proud to take the next step on my professional journey. Shorts provide an excellent environment for learning and development, and my promotion demonstrates the genuine commitment within the firm to support the team with structured career paths.

“I am very much looking forward to working with existing and future clients and helping to contribute to the continued success of the firm.”

Kirstie is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and holds a Diploma in Charity Accounting. She is a Xero certified adviser, proficient in many cloud-based accounting systems, such as Xero and Sage and has experience working with both incorporated and unincorporated businesses.

In December 2022 Kirstie was also appointed the youngest ever trustee at Ashgate Hospice.
